I will be visiting Riyad from 9-15 September. This is a pre-employment visit. Visit visa and flights arranged. I'll be staying at King Fahd Medical City, spending most of the day time at hospital with free evenings. Would it be possible to meet few of EB members. Also guide me which are the nearest shopping centres as i'll need to buy visitors sim to get conected. Any advice what to look for in Riyadh to gain insight into living experience which will help me to make a decision.

I live 2mins away from king fahd medical city in salmanyia.
I can help if you need. Riyadh is just hot as hell but in september it is just hot lol. The nearest place to buy a sim i suggest in tahlyia street 3mins driving or taxi (10-15riyals) from king fahd city there is a Mobily shop with good offers. The nearest and the best in salmanyia market is Tamimi markets it is 10mins walking -i dont recommend in this weather-or 2mins driving. Tamimi is in the cross of Talateeni street with dabab street.
Riyadh is safe and good place to work but is a terrible place to live lol.
Anyway welcome to riyadh and have a nice time. Dont hesitate to contact me if you need any help.
